Comparison of absolute CD4 count and human immunodeficiency virus viral load in groups of patients with varying platelet level

Platelet count	Absolute CD4 count (%)				HIV viral load (%)
	>500 cells/mm3	200-500 cells/mm3	<200 cells/mm3	P	>200 copies/ml	200-1000 copies/ml	<1000 copies/ml	P
Treatment naïve (cells/mm3)
50,000-100,000	20 (25.0)	21 (26.3)	39 (48.8)	0.595	35 (43.8)	2 (2.5)	43 (53.8)	0.653

<20,000	0	0	1 (100.0)		0	0	1 (100.0)
On HAART (cells/mm3)
50,000-100,000	26 (27.7)	22 (23.4)	46 (48.9)	0.511	47 (50.0)	2 (2.1)	45 (47.9)	0.560
